The IC693MDL241 is a discrete input module in the 90-30 series Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) family. The module has sixteen (16) output channels in one output group, with a common terminal. It operates in the input voltage range of 0-30 VDC or 0-30 VAC, while the module is rated at 24 VAC / 24 VDC. The module supports wiring of binary or On/Off or dual state input devices such as limit switches, push button switches, proximity switches, auxiliary contacts and similar devices. The IC693MDL241 is equipped with two (2) rows of LED status indicators that describe the power-up of each input channel. An input channel that actively receives 7 mA of input current at rated voltage activates its corresponding LED. In addition to LED indicators, module plugins are available in which short descriptions or input labels can be written to facilitate identification of input channels. The module is compatible to mount on 5-slot or 10-slot baseboards of 90-30 series PLC platforms. The on-voltage rating for the input channel is 11.5-30 VAC/VDC, while the off voltage is 0-4 VDC/VAC. Similarly, the maximum conduction current is 3.2 mA, while the maximum turn-off current is 1 mA. The module has an On signal conversion delay of 12 ms and an Off response time of 28 ms. When all inputs are in the logical 1 state, the module is rated at 80 mA @ 5 VDC and 125 mA from the isolated 24 VDC backplane bus or user-supplied external power supply.
The IC693MDL241 module is a positive/negative input module manufactured by GE Fanuc as part of the 90-30 series PLC system. It operates at a rated voltage of 24 volts AC/DC and has a set of 16 input points, all located in a common power input terminal. The module is designed for use with an operator-supplied AC or DC input power supply, so it can have positive or negative logic characteristics in DC input mode. These input characteristics apply to a variety of user-supplied input units, such as buttons, electronic proximity switches, and limit switches. The IC693MDL241 module has an input voltage range of 0 to 30 volts AC or DC, a frequency of 50 to 60 Hz, and a typical input current of 7 mA at rated voltage. It has an on voltage of 11.5 to 30 volts AC or DC and a off voltage of 0 to 4 volts AC or DC. The GE IC693MDL241 module has a minimum on-current of 3.2 mA, a maximum on-off current of 1 amp, and a response time of 28 ms on off and 12 ms on. When the current passes through the input point, the result in the input status table is logic 1 (%I). The operator can supply the power needed to run the field equipment, or use an isolated 24-volt DC output voltage source as the power source for the DC input. Each point on the top of the GE Fanuc IC693MDL241 module has an LED on/Off status indicator. The LED block arranges the leds horizontally in 2 horizontal rows with 8 green leds in each row. Points 1 to 8 in the top LED row are labeled from A1 to A8, while points 9 to 16 in the bottom row are labeled from B1 to B8.
